JR Freight Business Seminar in Hamamatsu

On May 12, 2025, JR Freight's Tokai Branch will hold a business seminar in the Hamamatsu area focused on promoting the introduction of 31ft containers. This event aims to address the concerns of various companies in the region, especially in light of the growing demand for efficient transportation solutions amid ongoing challenges such as truck driver shortages and the push for carbon neutrality.

Addressing Transportation Challenges

Hamamatsu, known for its vibrant manufacturing industry, relies heavily on railway freight transport for delivering vehicle parts and food industrial products. Recently, there has been an increase in inquiries from customers regarding mid to long-distance transportation options due to the lack of available truck drivers. Moreover, the upcoming establishment of a new transfer station at Nishihamamatsu Station on April 1, 2025, marks a significant step in catering to diverse transportation needs, prompting this informative seminar.

Seminar Highlights

The seminar will feature a comprehensive program, including:

• - Latest Topics from JR Freight
• - Subsidy Information from the Chubu Transport Bureau
• - Tour of Nishihamamatsu Station (31ft containers and transfer station)
• - Individual Consultation Sessions

• - Plans to utilize or expand rail transport as a strategy to tackle the 2024 problem
